DESCRIPTION

The
User-Agent
request header is used to identify the software which generated the request for statistical or debugging purposes. neon does not send a
User-Agent
header unless a call is made to the
ne_set_useragent.
ne_set_useragent
must be passed a product string conforming to RFC2616's product token grammar; of the form
"Product/Version".

When neon reads from a socket, by default the read operation will time out after 60 seconds, and the request will fail giving an
NE_TIMEOUT
error. To configure this timeout interval, call
ne_set_read_timeout
giving the desired number of seconds as the
timeout
parameter.

When a connection is being established to a server, normally only the system's TCP timeout handling will apply. To configure a specific (and probably shorter) timeout, the
ne_set_connect_timeout
can be used, giving the desired number of seconds as the
timeout
parameter. If
0
is passed, then the default behaviour of using the system TCP timeout will be used.

The scheme used to initially create the session will be returned by
ne_get_scheme.

The hostport pair with which the session is associated will be returned by the
ne_get_server_hostport; for example
www.example.com:8080. Note that the
:port
will be omitted if the default port for the scheme is used.
